Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains

About this experience

Escape the neon and experience a peaceful desert night less than an hour from the Las Vegas Strip. This private, self-guided Jeep adventure gives you the freedom to drive into the Spring Mountains and settle into Lovell Canyon for sunset, stargazing, and a cozy camp setup under the Nevada sky.

Your Jeep comes packed with the gear you need for an easy night outdoors, including a telescope, headlamps, chairs, blankets,, snacks, and bottled water. Before you depart, the Discover It Yourself team will walk you through the route, gear, and setup so you feel confident heading out on your own.

This is a great choice for couples, friends, photographers, and travelers looking for something different than the usual Las Vegas show, casino, or group tour. Enjoy the freedom of a self-guided adventure with the comfort of having the details handled for you.

*Guided options are available
*Smore's and Firepit upgrade for $60

Itinerary and highlights

After picking up your Jeep near the Las Vegas airport, begin your self-guided drive away from the Strip and toward the Spring Mountains. As the city fades behind you, the route takes you through desert scenery, mountain views, and wide-open Nevada landscapes.

Before departure, you’ll receive clear directions and a gear walkthrough so you know where to go, how to use the included equipment, and how to enjoy the evening safely.

Arrive in Lovell Canyon, a peaceful mountain-desert area west of Las Vegas known for wide skies, quiet surroundings, and beautiful sunset views. Set up your chairs, blankets, telescope, snacks, and lighting as the desert shifts from golden hour into night.

Enjoy a private stargazing experience away from the bright lights of the Strip. Watch the stars appear overhead, relax by your campfire-style setup, and take in one of the most peaceful sides of Southern Nevada.
